Hrithik, who has just returned from two weeks in Singapore, now leaves for Australia for further recuperation. He will return to perform an intricate item number for “Krazzy 4″. To be directed by Raja Sen, the film is a comedy and stars Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan, Suresh Menon and Rajpal Yadav.

“Well, people always wondered how I could make a film without Hrithik. So here he is, all set to do his career’s first item song,” Rakesh Roshan told IANS.

“My brother Rajesh Roshan has already recorded the song and I’m putting up an elaborate set for the song to be shot in March 2008. However, let me warn Hrithik’s fans, if I feel his knee is not up to it, I won’t shoot the song,” added the concerned father.

In fact, senior Roshan too has decided to take a long sabbatical from direction. But hold on. He is producing a film that is to start in July 2008 and will feature Hrithik in a never-before avatar.

“It’s an action thriller with a strong love story at its heart. Anurag Basu, whom both me and Hrithik think very highly of, is directing the film for us,” revealed Rakesh.

It’s been a time of turmoil for Hrithik. A troublesome injury finally decided to act up seriously.

“The doctors told him he needed to rest the knee completely, and I mean completely; otherwise it would give way. The injury got aggravated from all the stunts in his recent films, including ‘Krrish’.

“It got to a point where his knee gave way completely. The doctors said he had to take complete rest for two months or face the consequences,” said Rakesh explaining the problem.

The year 2007 has been a quiet year for Rakesh as a director.

“And so it will remain in 2008. I’m not directing any film. As I said Anurag Basu will direct my son in our next production. I’ve spent 40 years in the movie business and enjoyed every second of it, but now I need to devote time to my family, and to myself.

“I want to watch my grandson grow up. My hands are as full with production work as I want it to be.”

He promises “Krazzy 4″ will be unlike the avalanche of comedies that have hit us in recent times.

“It’s a funny film. But it’s neither slapstick nor vulgar. Very frankly, I am very confused by the kind of films that are doing well. Audiences don’t want us to make anything that pushes the envelope. I’d rather not direct films than make the kind of films that click these days.”

It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air.

More so for Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and hubby Abhishek, who are celebrating their first Valentine together, as a married couple.

And though tight-lipped about their plans for the day, Aishwarya says that her approach to such days is simple.

“Every day is a simple day and every day is a celebration. What you make of every moment is what it’s all about.”

Admitting that she’s as curious as we are to know what the day will bring, she recalls the previous year’s Valentine’s Day when their affair was surrounded with speculation and rumours.

“It was a very special time for us, as we were engaged. But it was quite hectic. I was shooting for Jodhaa Akbar and working full throttle.

Going up and down to Karjat and knowing that marriage was not too far away, I was working at it all - completing the film and our marriage preparations,” she reminisces.

So, what’s her idea of a perfect romantic date?
“Togetherness is perfect, whatever the setting,” says the Bachchan bahu.

And who’s the more romantic of the two?
“I really don’t know,” she blushes, adding, “We don’t get into all this. We are just very happy with each other and I think that in itself says a lot.”

And what is the most romantic thingAbhishek‘s done for her?
“Well, he proposed to me! To want to spend the rest of our lives together is by far, the most romantic thing, I could’ve experienced. It is very special, very real,” says the actress.

Is there anything she would want to change in him?
“Currently there is nothing that I need to change in him,” comes the reply.

And what is the one thing she really loves about him?
“It’s difficult to put it down to one thing. I just love him and that’s why I’m married to him,” she gushes.

“He’s all rolled into one - a fabulous actor, a great husband and an excellent friend. I love him. He is the best in everything he does or is,” she says flashing a dazzling smile.

Currently dating Ness Wadia, Preity Zinta shares her Valentine’s Day plans:

Any plans for V-day?
(Laughs) If you have any gifts, please give them to me now.

Which is your most memorable Valentine’s Day?
The most special Valentine’s Days are the initial ones. To have someone important in one’s life is a good reason to smile every day. I’m happy for whoever wants to celebrate it.

The best gift you ever got?
On January 24, when the IPL bid result came in my favour. I was so excited that I couldn’t stop jumping around. It took me a day to calm down!

We’re talking about Valentine’s Day gifts here.
Hmm, can’t recollect one right now.

Ideally, how would you like to spend the day?
I don’t plan too much, but go with the flow. I’m a romantic at heart and all that, but I don’t plan days ahead.. I’m more spontaneous.

Which is the most romantic moment of your life?
It has to be the scene in Kal Ho Naa Ho, when Shah Rukh reads the letter to me. I remember asking Karan Johar if anyone could do that in real life.. I don’t think so. I was floored. The dialogue was so much like poetry.

Ever wished it to happen in real life?
In reality, life is incredible. If anyone wrote poetry to me, I don’t know.. (laughs) I’d probably run as if I were running in the Mumbai marathon!
